I doubt that anything will come our way, and if it does, I know that both the USA and Israel [the "Arrow" system] have the capabilities of shooting this stuff down before it lands, of course in reasonable numbers, if they send over 20 missiles I guess one or two are going to slip through. Moreover I live out in the boondoocks - middle of the desert, doubt anything will be coming my way. Thanks for your thoughts !!!! Now the only thing bothering me is when is it going to start - damn I already lost two bets on the starting date for the war - yes, that's what we do at work, place bets for the start of war. Have a great day everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TTFN – Vic "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _____ From: pcductape-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pcductape-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carl Sent: Monday, 10 March, 2003 23:53 To: pcductape@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi Pam, I said that about Fords, hoping to get Trapper's goat. :-) He must be chasing his goat up a mountain. That is one thing I do remember about my trip to Alaska; all the mountains have goats on them. The locals call them sheep but they sure look like goats to me. :-) I have 1 car and 1 trk and they are both Fords. I love Fords. I love Microsoft. I think our Mr Gates is much too smart to try to "corner" the market on office software like that article suggested. :-) Hey Vic, 12 years ago we could not shoot down missiles going your way but today we have the means to shootem down before they leave their homeland (Iraq), I hope. You are in our prayers. Carl
